Smart social circles

Many social apps have ways to filter the audience of posts users make; for example, Instagram has Close Friends. However, such features often allow for only one list, which can be problematic. This concept allows users to create multiple lists and uses AI to suggest lists when posting, as well as people to include in them. This mock-up shows stories but this could also be an option when making posts.

When posting a story, users can now pick from a number of lists. A suggestion is made for which list to share it to, and other lists are shown below.
A new edit list interface. Users can see recent posts, get suggestions for who to add and see who has opted out.
When viewing a story shared to a private list, users can see the name of the list as well as opt out of it.
